I starved a tick a few years ago, it was a prego female. I was smart enough to put in a pickle jar. Lots of little ones. I thought maybe they would cannibalize and one would win, growing big, but they stayed in a group and died.

I have wondered about the life cycles of ticks. Not enough to actually try and find out an more, but I have wondered. I hate ticks. But I don't go all girly over them.

I don't know much about the life cycle, but I do know a tick is blind and deaf, and can lay in a dormant (kinda like sleeping) state for 16 years.
They are "activated" by carbon dioxide (what we exhale).
How it can do this, I have no idea, but it's absolutely evil.

Eff that man, nothing needs that many damn legs. Much less anything that will crawl up your pants leg, or onto your sock, your hat, gloves, under your car seat, and any where else, and creeps up and bites yo ass with no warning.

That wasn't a spider, here's a couple of pet ones from the Sandbox.
Now these are spiders.
